The Rainbow Raft

In this episode, I talk with Sky about our exciting experiences with the Nintendo Switch and some of the games we're currently playing on it! This will be the final episode of Season One! But don't despair - if there's enough demand, we'll certainly be back! Otherwise, catch my new podcast - T3ddy Time - starting Sunday 22nd December 2019! See you there :D 

I've been struggling with OCD and Hoarding since the age of 9. Whether it's furniture, plastic bottles, paint cans, or random books. It's been a struggle to let go, and it's been an even bigger struggle to try and find help. But, we're on the right track for a fresh start!

We went on Holiday and toured the UK a little more.  We went to Morecambe, which is on the north eastern coast of England. It's worn down a little, especially after everyone decided to go abroad for Holidays. But, we loved it. To sum it up: I got addicted to tea We played as shit ton of Pokémon And we found the best hotel ever! [Review to come on T3ddy Talk]

A little bit of an upsetting episode - speaking of personal experiences and misconceptions that annoy us. Statistics (Note statistics in the show were old, from 2015. These statistics are more up to date): Half of LGBT people (52 per cent) have experienced depression, while three in five (61 per cent) reported having episodes of anxiety. Almost half of trans people (46 per cent) have also had thoughts about taking their own life.

It's been a chaotic week. Between trying to get ready for pride and trying to get a hair cut (who knew that would be so damn difficult?!), I'm very tired! So, let's have a lazy Friday morning... 

It's hard to be yourself sometimes; and not all of us have an abundance of good coming out stories. Here's Teddy, Danchou, Teather, and Kelly talking about their identities and their experiences of coming out as themselves.
